Eclectic​​: tailoring modalities to what serves you best
I tend to work well with people who are highly capable on the outside yet quietly anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or relentlessly hard on themselves within. Often, their nervous systems learned to adapt early. Now as adults, they're navigating complexity in relationships, identity, ambition, boundaries, burnout, and belonging. I offer therapy that can hold that depth and nuance.
What to Expect Working With Me
My approach blends depth work with practical skills. You’re not just understanding yourself, you’re learning how to live differently with that understanding.
​
I’m engaged and collaborative. I ask direct questions, reflect patterns, and help you make meaning of what shaped you. When helpful, I bring in tools for anxiety, boundaries, nervous system regulation, identifying parts of you, and naming triggers. It’s not just me nodding for 50 minutes.
​​​​​​​
Therapy works best when we’re both willing to pay attention to what unfolds within you and between us. Some sessions are quiet and slow; others hold emotion, insight, tears, anger, or laughter. My intention is to help you understand yourself more deeply, especially how past experiences and protective patterns shape the way you feel and relate today. This is a space to tell the truth about what hurts and what protects, allowing change to emerge organically without forcing it. In that kind of space, what you’ve been carrying alone can begin to feel more shareable, softening shame and reminding us of our shared humanity.
-
This isn’t about positive thinking, affirmations or quick fixes
-
I’m not here to optimize you
-
We won’t rush to make meaning before your body and emotions are ready
-
I have no expectation for perfection or you doing therapy right (whatever that means...)
​Clients often leave with more language for their inner world, more choice instead of reactivity, more self- compassion, and less self-criticism. Relationships feel clearer. What once felt overwhelming becomes workable. If this resonates, we can start with a brief call to see if we’re a fit.

“We have been socialized to respect fear more than our own needs for language and definition, and while we wait in silence for that final luxury of fearlessness, the weight of that silence will choke us.”
-Audre Lorde
